Hi! This is to announce the "mdh" egg, an interface to the C++ API of O'Kane's MUMPS database. The concepts behind it were presented by Luke at the CHICKEN Coding Jam and produced quite some interest. MDH is a very easy to use multidimensional key-value store. The code is included in the egg, the only external dependency is libpcre.
Documentation can be found here: http://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/mdh (or of course at api.call-cc.org). Note that this is a first release. It seems to work fine, but has not been heavily tested with regards to scalability and performance. There are a few parameters than can be tweaked once there exists more experience with using this database. Many thanks to Luke K. for inspiration and fruitful discussions regarding a suitable Scheme API. felix
